around this...


*************** **

int main()
{
int one = 1;
int number = 43;

double result = one / number;
double result2 = static_cast<dou ble>(one / number);

cout << result << endl << result2;

return 0;
}

*************** **

OUTPUT:

0
0

What is 1/43 when you can only have whole numbers?

If you got this from a book see if it has an errata page.
